Authenticity is Everything
Steve McQueen Authenticity Opinions Please!
Hello all. I'm new to this site. I have an interest in autographs mainly because owning an authentic signature is like holding a piece oh history. Recently we found a signature of Steve McQueen on the back of a business card. The card was found in a photo album that belonged to my wife's late sister. The business card is from a beauty shop in Colorado. Most likely she ran across him and pulled out the card from her purse as the only thing she had to get a signature on. The sig is in pencil and dated with a '69 written in pen. I've attached a photo. Anyone have an opinion on this? I can't imagine why she would have faked an autograph and the stuck it in a photo album for over 30 years. I have not seen many examples like this on the Internet. I have heard from one gentleman who got his dig on the set of Bullit that he sometimes signed in pencil and that he had a similar sig in this mostly printed style. Some aspects of the sig are similar to the cursive signature I've seen. If it is real then the personalized note is a great example of his printing. Appreciate any comments.

I emailed the photo from my phone. Not sure where it goes from there. I guess I need to go to the desktop and add photos.

Sorry, but Not even close. Certainly not close to any McQueen I've ever seen or owned.

Kevin thanks for your opinion but I must say I have seen many varied styles of his signature in researching. I'm not trying to say that it is authentic but I've seen enough similar examples that lead me to believe that it could possibly be authentic especially given the source. Here is a link to an image of his signature in cement at the Chinese theater in LA. http://stevemcqueen-justclickhere.com/Autographs.htm
It is very similar to my example. Granted cement is not the easiest medium to write in but the similarities are close and he could have chosen to write his name in one of his other styles. I am sure you know what you are talking about but perhaps this is another example of a new style. I will continue to research before deciding it is not authentic. Thanks again for your help.
